Really? I'd estimate more like 120%.
Edit: especially consider affirmative action and the desperate impact doctrine.
I'd have expected affirmative action to have substantial ill effects, but no one seems to be saying that the quality of American goods has dropped noticeably since the late sixties.
My tentative explanation is that hiring and promotion are much more random than people want to think.
Well two points:
1) There is a huge confounding factor, namely technological progress.
2) In general, labor intensive goods aren't even produced in America anymore.
